No one makes pipe skis anymore

Simon D Artois just started skiing for Zuma and I notice faction doesn't make a full camber park ski anymore. Makes me think me moved companies to have a ski that has the performance for pipe. Alex Ferreira was skiing on some 4frnt wise's instead of armadas. Makes me wonder what Torrin will be competing on and if soon all the pipe guys will be on the same couple of pairs of skis due to the soft, wide, rocker trend in park skis

Almost every one of the larger companies makes a competition ski. Torin skis pipe on the ar8 zero's I think.

Skinny, stiff, a little more directional, fast as fuck bases, classic park ski specs/shape and camber, no need for thick edges

In a time when wider softer surfier skis with thicker edges and rocker are more prevalent in the park scene

I don't mind because I'm about as good at pipe as your dog is at math but I do appreciate the classic shape and stiffness and badass bases
